The authors wish to make the following addendum to their paper [1]:
We need to add the following three references to Section 3.5 “Equilibrium Adsorption Isotherm and Kinetics Studies” of our recently published paper [1]: “Zur Theorie Der Sogenannten Adsorption Gelöster Stoffe”, by Lagergren, published in Bihang till K. Svenska Vet-Akad. Handlingar, 1898 [2]; “Adsorption of Heavy Metals from Waste Streams by Peat”, by Ho, Ph.D. Thesis, University of Birmingham, 1995 [3]; “Sorption of Dye from Aqueous Solution by Peat”, by Ho and McKay, published in Chem. Eng. J., 1998 [4]. These three articles described the adsorption kinetics, i.e., the pseudo-first order kinetic model and the pseudo-second order kinetic model.
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. The change does not affect the scientific results. The manuscript will be updated and the original will remain online on the article webpage.
